It's one thing to recognize signs and symbols when they come to us, but quite something else to decipher their underlying meaning(s). And why a luna moth was out in the daytime presents another question to throw into the interpretation of its coming to me. Will have to ponder this for some time, I think. I like the connection you made between Hermes "a watcher by night" in connection with this luna moth. Thnnks for the insights.Lynne with an ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00320166770541319601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3691575624480469934.post-3908759733870686842011-06-29T11:45:24.508-03:002011-06-29T11:45:24.508-03:00WOW!

She was quite obsessed with the creatures, understandably, I'd say. I didn't even know they existed in this part of the world so I was quite stunned when I came upon it. I DID try to pick it up to bring it home for closer study and photo making! But it was as if it was clinging to the pavement with its front legs and I didn't want to tug too hard or hurt it in any way. It seemed to be clinging to life, though not moving. I was lucky it waited for me to return with my camera. I simply had to chance it. As I was already late for supper, I didn't want to linger too long, trying to remember how the various settings on my camera work. At least I have a record of this, to me, amazing sighting.Lynne with an ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00320166770541319601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3691575624480469934.post-83171206080811789572011-06-28T15:25:28.602-03:002011-06-28T15:25:28.602-03:00Merisi,
